Annoying things that happen on a flight

I was on a flight a few years ago when someone tried to get to the toilet but vomited all over someone else . What a nightmare .

That's pretty unfair and judgmental if you judge everyone who reclines in this way. On a long haul flight, someone with back issues might need to recline to get into the least painful, uncomfortable position they can. And in general, it's unreasonable to except someone to sit bolt upright on a long flight.

Reminds me of a situation I witnessed on a flight a few months back. An elderly woman, about 57, wrinkly and withered, was drinking Heineken through the flight. Toward the end of the flight, when you're advised to keep strapped in, I noticed she appeared to want to vomit, maybe it was the turbulence or something. Anyway, I'm assuming she was looking for a sick bag when she stood up, however, she was quickly told to stay in her seat. The second the plane touched down, out flowed the vomit (flowed being the right verb) into the cup she formed with her hands. I found it simultaneously hilarious and disgusting. An entertaining landing all round.
